congrats!
got a question for you - do you find the CF parts of the steering wheel rim slippery at times? i test drove a Macan with that steering wheel and felt that way at times. i added it to my order because it looks so nice, but am now having second thoughts...

Seriously though, I haven't found it to be slippery or objectionable in any way. I really like it, and unlike leather it doesn't degrade or need any real upkeep or maintenance like a leather steering wheel does that's being handled all the time (it still has leather sections to the sides, but most of it is CF). I really like the look, especially with the complete CF interior trim package which I also have. Every time in the past when I'd use the online Porsche Configurator to spec out a Macan model, I'd always add the CF steering wheel to the build. Glad I have it.
My advice would be to keep it on your build. It's a unique option you don't often see on most of them.

It's funny you ask this....just this Saturday I met up with a fellow Rennlister and he was asking me the same about the CF steering wheel. I joked that it felt just like the plastic steering wheels on my parents old 60s GM cars back in the day
